"Live the MC experience in Puerto Rico has been great! This country offers you so many opportunities to challenge yourself and be creative, I like the fact that as MC we can really make an impact in peoples' life, in Puerto Rico we are responsible for developing the platform for the future generations of AIESECers."

"International MC is an incredible opportunity! When you are in a country that is not yours, where AIESEC is so relevant but has the risk to disappear, you realize the significant impact you can make leading this organization, is really important to understand that we are not only working for our own personal development but for the people we don't even know will be part of the organization because they also will have the same opportunities we are having."

Living in Puerto Rico has been like paradise, the country is so beautiful, I this island you can find everything: wonderful beaches, mountains, forests, history, music, etc….but the most important is the people, Puerto Ricans are very friendly people that will make you feel in family!

MC international…MC in Puerto Rico..So many memories, It’s one of the best things that happened to me in AIESEC. The decision was made very spontaneously, but the result turned out to be changing lives and maybe even destinies.

MC International it’s like jump out to the lake, that u don’t know the bottom. U may know where and for what u are applying , but the experience will be more intensive and interesting that u expect.

MC International it’s flight that worth, it’s very high fly…It’s smth that u need to try in your life once to know –what does it means personal effectiveness, decision making, adjusting, cultural understanding, friendship, management , work in international team, interpersonal communication, effective communication, going, going, achieving and building strategies in first unknown and new environment…U get so many out of it ,that u even can’t count and remind everything…U need time to reflect and evaluate it. And I think definitely that such experience is unique. Cause it’s in AIESEC. U can just go to internship after ur LCP/MC term, but u will not have so many challenges, development and just amazing experience . The important thing is about working and being inside the organization. Being MC abroad u open one more miracle side of AIESEC, u discover organization once again, and probably u discover urself once again.

MC in Puerto Rico –it’s the most intensive, professional and personal experience. What is it? It’s about culture, people, country, style of life, conditions. All this makes MC Puerto Rico just amazing. I have so many bright emotions and memories after 6 month living here. It’s really close work with LCs , that is smth good. Cause u are ot only building and working out strategies ,but u also train people on field, see their mistakes and achievement, u are manager and coach, friend and adviser, u learn how to warm, emotional, passionate and motivated people can be.

MC in Puerto Rico I chose to get more professional XP in HR. And I can say honestly, that I’m on my way to meet this expectations. Being here I learnt a lot. And it makes me better, stronger. But all this experience in such amazing country with so great people makes it 3 times worthier.

I’d never change MC experience here to anything else. And I’m very glad to live and work in the “Island of Enchantment”.

To be continued...;)
